Lyrics:
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock rock, oh baby
Rock ‘n roll is here to stay,
It will never die
It was meant to be that way,
Though I don’t know why
I don’t care what people say,
Rock ‘n roll is here to stay
(We don’t care what people say,
Rock ‘n roll is here to stay)
Rock ‘n roll will always be
Our ticket to the end
It’ll go down in history,
Just you watch, my friend
Rock ‘n roll will always be,
It’ll go down in history
(Rock ‘n roll will always be,
It’ll go down in history)
Everybody rock,
Everybody rock,
Everybody rock,
Everybody rock
Rock, roll, everybody rock
Everybody rock ‘n roll,
Everybody rock ‘n roll,
Everybody rock ‘n roll
Everybody rock ‘n roll,
Rock, roll, everybody rock ‘n roll
Rock ‘n roll is here to stay,
It will never die
It was meant to be that way,
Though I don’t know why
I don’t care what people say,
Rock ‘n roll is here to stay
Rock ‘n roll will always be
Our ticket to the end
It’ll go down in history,
Just you watch, my friend
Rock ‘n roll will always be,
It’ll go down in history
If you don’t like rock ‘n roll,
Think what you’ve been missin’
But if you like to bop and strawl,
Come on down and listen
Let’s all start to have a ball,
Everybody rock ‘n roll
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby
